Talk:M6 Spartan Laser: Difference between revisions

Line 223:

It's called that because Bungie didn't read the primer on how give military weapons realistic nomenclature, correct operation, or true-to-form function. This weapon would realistically be called a linear anti-armor directed energy weapon, much like the RAVEN device is an explosive-disruptive DEW. Non-linear calls to mind one of several sonic-based crowd-suppression DEWs currently under trials and development. [[User talk:Griever0311|Griever0311]] 05:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC) US MARINE

::Actually a line in geometry goes on forever. A line ''segment'' has a beginning and end. Also, a laser beam has both, the beginning is where the laser beam emerges from the laser and the end is wherever it hits something. If it is fired up into space eventually it will stop, at least from hitting interstellar gas and dust. Finally, a line is 1 dimensional, it only has length. A laser beam has length, width and height.[[Special:Contributions/81.108.237.26|81.108.237.26]] 14:41, 3 April 2011 (EDT)

Why is every "laser" word in this article in all caps? Is it supposed to be like that or did someone mess with the article? [[User talk:General Heed|General Heed]] 19:53, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

:While I recognize that the word "laser" is an acronym just like radar, sonar, etc. the wikipedia article does not capitalize every use of the word laser on neither the laser article nor laser related articles. The same is true for sonar and radar. So if you want it to be grammatically correct, you don't capitalize every single one. ~~{{Signature/~~Ghost sangheili}}
